Our New House

It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.

Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…

We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.

I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.

So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.

Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.

I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

Lost in Buffalo


Click on photo to enlarge
In our quest to stay off the interstates and toll roads we took our usual smaller country roads from Erie to Niagara Falls. This is normally not a problem but on this trip most of the towns we passed through had us down to 25 mph. This added a lot more time to our drive. But the big problem was when we reached Buffalo New York. The road I planned to take was detoured due to an event going on. This detour took us right into the heart of downtown Buffalo. Right where I carefully planned NOT to go. Lucky for us, it was Sunday and the traffic was very light. The weather here in New York is HOT and HUMID. Even just sitting outside, with no physical activity at all, you start sweating. And to top it off, the cottonwood trees are shedding. It looks, at times, like it is snowing, with all the seed flying from the trees. It is so bad that the campground has to clean the pool filters once a day. We are only about 15 minutes from the falls so today we made a planning trip to see what tours they had to offer. While there I got the above photo. We were literally 10 feet from the top edge of the falls. I didn't know you could get that close. Tomorrow we are going to see the falls from below on the Maid of the Mist boat that takes you right into the mist at the bottom of the falls. We WILL get wet.
